@mayinmidlife: It took Mark Faram 50 years to serve 24 years in the Navy. A lot of broken segments of service left him at 18 years and no chance to retire. He kept pleading his case and finally people listened. He was allowed to reenlist in the Reserves as a first class to finish out his 20. And then something he never thought would happen, happened - he made chief. He was selected at 63, went through season at 64 and retired officially at 65. Would you come back in the Navy at 60? And would you go through initiation at 64? #navychief #navypride #hooyah #usn #navyretired

One of my friends made Chief and immediately refused to participate in chief season. He said he got selected for Chief based on his successful track record as a leader at several pay grades at several commands under several leadership triads. He definitely was a fantastic leader and an expert at the job too. One of the best in the fleet. Those Chiefs treated him like he was a shitbag. Then they started screwing with the first class mess. He was essentially subjected to DRB style verbal thrashings from chiefs all over the base. He didn't participate. Ultimately he ended up being a great chief who still leveraged connections to help sailors. I don't know what the other implications were in terms of his standing in the mess.

The Personality Development course this semester officially became Kim Minjeong's biggest enemy. Not because of the study material, but because of the incredibly formal dress code. For an IT student who was used to living casually in oversized t-shirts and denim jackets, being demanded to look like a young executive—with a crisp white shirt, black dress pants, loafers, and a tie—was a complete disaster. Her main problem was just one: Minjeong was completely clueless about how to tie a proper tie knot. Every time she tried it herself, the shape was always messy and choked her neck. Strangely enough, her girlfriend, Yu Jimin, the campus belle, was actually the one most enthusiastic about welcoming that class schedule. The night before, Jimin purposely stayed over at Minjeong's boarding house room. Patiently, she sat on the floor carpet, ironing her girlfriend's white shirt and dress pants until they were perfectly crisp without a single stubborn crease. Her love language through acts of service truly never failed to make Minjeong feel special. In the morning, Jimin's signature soft vanilla scent already wafted and filled the whole room. Minjeong had just finished buttoning her long-sleeved white shirt and fixing her dress pants. The IT student now stood frozen in front of the mirror, staring at a piece of black tie in her hand with a desperate expression. Jimin, who had just finished her makeup, turned around. Instantly, her movements stopped. Through the mirror's reflection, Minjeong could see how Jimin's gaze immediately locked onto her. Those beautiful eyes traced from Minjeong's wolf cut hair that was combed neater than usual, down to her neckline, to the silhouette of the fitted white shirt that molded her posture perfectly. Jimin's gaze was so calm, yet it clearly showed immense admiration until the woman unknowingly held her breath. Jimin indeed had one absolute weakness: her pride's defenses would always crumble every time she saw Minjeong dressed neatly in a white shirt.

Jimin's gaze was so calm, yet it clearly showed immense admiration until the woman unknowingly held her breath. Jimin indeed had one absolute weakness: her pride's defenses would always crumble every time she saw Minjeong dressed neatly in a white shirt. "Why are you standing quietly there, Bub?" Minjeong greeted with her low, smooth, and calming voice, raising an eyebrow through the mirror's reflection. "Help me out. I seriously don't know how to put this on." Jimin gasped softly, a faint red blush immediately spreading across her cheeks because she was caught staring intently without a pause. She looked away for a moment to hide her small smile, then stepped closer gracefully. "Come here," Jimin said softly. Minjeong turned to face her. Jimin's steps stopped right in front of her, closing the distance until the warmth of her body and that sweet vanilla scent felt so intoxicating. Jimin's slender fingers reached up, folding Minjeong's shirt collar carefully, then started crossing the two ends of the black tie patiently. Even though her hands were busy twisting the knot, Jimin's gaze occasionally looked up, locking eyes with Minjeong from such a close distance. "This white shirt looks really good on you, Jeong," Jimin whispered softly, her voice sounding so sincere and adoring. "You look neat, cool... just don't dress up like this to campus too often if you're not with me." Hearing that possessive tone wrapped in a sweet whine, the corners of Minjeong's lips slowly pulled up into a comforting smile. Without warning, Minjeong's long arms reached up and landed perfectly on Jimin's slender waist. With one gentle pull, she embraced her campus belle closer, making sure there was no distance left between them. Jimin gasped softly, looking up at her girlfriend's face with slightly widened eyes. "Minjeong... keep your hands still, the knot isn't finished yet." "Let them be," Minjeong whispered right in front of Jimin's lips. "It's because you've been staring at me like that since earlier." #jiminjeong #winrina #ae #fyp #fypシ
